Simple. Cheap. No artificial anything. And Delicious! A wonderful cheap treat for your family's drink bottles. I created this after being unable to find a kid-friendly blueberry cordial recipe. I used frozen berries but fresh would do, of course! Time shown does not include the overnight steeping time, which is optional but advised to get the max flavour.

1 3/4 litres (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4 cups sugar
4 cups boiling water
3 cups blueberries, frozen
4 teaspoons citric acid

Directions

1
In a large saucepan combine everything. Simmer over medium heat and stir with wooden spoon to dissolve the sugar. Mash the berries as they soften, with the spoon, or a potato masher. I tried an immersion blender which worked ok but the masher was the most effective.
2
Once dissolved, let cool, then steep overnight in the refrigerator. This will get the max flavour from the berries.
3
Next day, strain into a bottle (clean softdrink is perfect). I used a funnel with a wire mesh strainer over the top, and poured a little at a time. Squeeze the juice from the pulp through the strainer. Set pulp aside - delicious with icecream!
4
To reconstitute to a delicious drink, try 1 part cordial to 5 or 6 parts water. This will depend on how sweet you like your drinks.
5
KEEP IN REFRIGERATOR.
6
It makes 1.75 litres which will creat about 12 litres of drink.
